Chapter 34: Research
Consciousness research was a bit different from other kinds of research
It was not physical, so the only way to research it was through nonphysical methods
And its abstract nature made it impossible for Su Chen to use his enuinely be searching for an answer on his own
When he used Fata Morgana on Shang Li, Shang Li fell into a strange dream realm Su Chen followed closely behind him into the dreamreal Li’s sea of knowledge Instead, he entered the dreae was a vital location hidden behind multiple barriers, and this drea Li’s as instinctively rejecting any outsiders, so all Su Chen could do was enter the drea Li’s dreamented world made of bubbles These bubbles were everywhere, and each of the a different time, location, and situation
Su Chen knew that most peoples’ consciousness reale newcreated, and these memories were stored in the form of these bubbles, which could be popped at any point in time The owner of these meing thee dream realuard Shang Li’s sea of knowledge If Su Chen was unable to navigate through the labyrinth, he wouldn’t be able to sneak in
But just as he was about to make his move, one of the bubbles suddenlydown viciously at Su Chen
As it opened its ure transformed into a sea of blood and rushed towards Su Chen
Su Chen chuckled coldly when he saw this “Astral, huh?”
He seemed completely carefree Just as the sea of blood was about to s hian to shi+ne forth fro sun driving away the darkness of the night The dean to boil
“bastard!” the Astral’s will roared as it attempted to reform its body This tiiant The giant swung its ar Li’s e bubble enveloped it and Su Chen In other words, they had fully entered Shang Li’s dream labyrinth and had become the main characters in his dream
“Die! This is my territory!” the projection of the Astral’s will howled A powerful, sinister, and chilly aura began to envelop Su Chen, penetrating deep into his body
“I don’t think so,” Su Chen shot back
Now that he had opened his Divine Palace, he was capable of using consciousness-type Origin Skills as he pleased, and his mastery of consciousness Arcana Techniques was also at the Tenth Ring level
Su Chen’s consciousness was many times more powerful than those of his contemporaries because of his secret skills and his vast supply of ainst an Astral
As such, he didn’t hesitate to begin grappling with that Astral’s will
A powerful, self-confident will began to appear in Shang Li’s drea emitted by the Astral will The tills collided violently in this drea an incredible ay Thankfully, this explosion was merely on the consciousness level, but even so, the silent shockwaves of energy burst countless of bubbles that Shang Li had nearby
Because these drea Li’s heart, however, new bubbles rapidly appeared to replace the older ones As long as Shang Li’s heart was intact, he would remain uninjured
Under the control of the Astral will, these bubbles began to ed themselves in the form of a maze Su Chen immediately found himself at a dead end
“Hahahaha, if you can’t defeat my Rainbow Labyrinth Seal, you will never discover our secret!” the will laughed
“How interesting But this is also quite trivial,” Su Chen replied “If I can’t destroy it, then I can’t destroy it After all, I will research whatever I can, starting with this Rainbow Labyrinth Seal of yours Whenever I comprehend it, I will naturally be able to destroy it”
Su Chen wasn’t in a hurry He floated in front of the walls of the Rainbow Labyrinth Seal, lost in thought
The wall i to sabotage his efforts However, in Su Chen’s eyes, this as not actually a barrier Instead, it was a research target worthy of analysis in and of itself
“This…… you…… how could you?” The Astral will clearly had not expected Su Chen to respond in this way and was immediately dumbfounded
Even so, this was Su Chen
This was the basic quality that any researcher needed to have
So you tried to create a barrier to stop ?
Sorry, but any difficulties I encounter actually just becoets forblocks to put inthem out now
Su Chen stood cal the coments
He didn’t try to determine the labyrinth’s layout After all, that would ame What he wanted to do was determine the link between this dreaure out how the Astral was controlling Shang Li
Su Chen always preferred to understand the principles behind so’s operation Once he understood those principles, it would be a piece of cake to nullify the technique There was no need for Su Chen to try and find his way through the maze in the first place
The Astral’s will realized this and said angrily, “Are you not going to try and save Shang Li? I have ie Only by breaking through will you be able to save hi to do Only by understanding how you Astrals are controlling people will I be able to set him free from your control and save him,” Su Chen replied
“But you won’t be able to save hi research! You need to do it by force!”
“Won’t I just be falling in your trap if that’s the case?” Su Chen chuckled “Who do you think I am? Do you think that I need to save every life just because I aet that I have taken many peoples’ lives myself I kill as few people as I possibly can for the sake of the greater good I do want to save Shang Li, but I won’t fall into your trap on his behalf In order to break the Astrals’ control over hu to make the necessary sacrifices So I’s slowly You don’t need to try and use virtue to trickhastily, because I won’t fall for that”
As he spoke, he returned his attention to the walls of the labyrinth, dissecting how the as for as he attempted to imitate his opponent’s power
